Demolition of democracy.
Democracy is at the heart of Europe.
But democracy needs care, especially when 70% of Europeans fear foreign interference in elections.
Today we present the European Democracy Shield and the EU Strategy for Civil Society.
Together, they'll make our democracies stronger, support independent media, and empower people and civil society to play an active role in shaping Europe’s future.
Because empowered, engaged, and informed people are the heart of our democracy💪
@EUCommission strengthen #Democracy by demanding transparency from politicians and privacy for people. 🛑 #Chatcontrol

"I think for far too long we've tried not to lose, as opposed to figuring out how to win."
-- Zohran Mamdani, speaking about the Democratic party and his bold proposals, in the October 20, 2025, issue of The New Yorker. My, I like him. He's the future. I want to see more politicians like him (and AOC, Michelle Wu, Katie Wilson, Maxwell Frost, etc.).

A Tarrant County resident who has worked as an election judge criticized the county’s move to cut more than 100 polling sites.
“You’re not saving money,” she said. “You’re sacrificing democracy to save a buck.”
Yes! A million times yes! This passage is from an interview with Zohran Mamdani in the September 2025 issue of The Nation. I've been making a similar point for ages. Somewhere along the line, "efficiency" became associated with the right. It should be identified with the left. There is nothing inherently conservative about efficiency. Mamdani beautiful explains why. #Politics #Economy#Economics#Democrats #Democracy #NewYork#ZohranMamdani #US #USpol
